ONO style OF MANLY peauty.

There is peculiar classical style of
manly beauty which all persons who
know anything of the subject must nsso-
ciate with eminence in the law and in or
atory. There have been plenty of able
lawyers and inspired orators who were
anything but handsome men. But that
type of strong and comedy physiogomy
which characterized Daniel Webster, and
which has given title to acertain sort of
physical and facial impressiveness, has be-
come pretty certain index of the quail
ity Of man it endows.s You say Of it:
There is man who has brains to think
and the gift to express his IDEAS" and
you are rarely mistaken in your judy
ment. A few fools Of fortune may wear
the masquerade, but they are the acct
dents, like white crows and two headed
calves. ALFRED Trumble in New York

the STORY OF A ssLnvra.



Hcsstness ,Bxpedients Of - Man Now Liv-
lug In Boston.
The other day heard a story from a
sea captain who has been all over the
world and finally settled near Atlanta,
the hest place, lhe says, he has ever found
Among the seafaring men he know be-
fore the war was q captain that had been
a slaxar. Once he had a cargo of 800
slaves, sailing with them from off the
coast OF Africa TO Cuba. After IA few
days sail he saw he was chased by q
United States man of war. If he was
caught with the slaves the penalty was
death fnrllim and his crew, and hiscargo
was worth 100000. So he had two in
centives 90 get away, and made his pnep-
arations for either .erent-escape or cap
ture. He hung the heavy iron cable or
chain that holds the anchor all around
the hull of dis vessel, on the outside, just
Mellow the edge of the deck. 1t was held
by some cleats- These cables are go heavy
that man can lift only about two feet
OF one. Then he had the 800 naked ne
groes brought on deck and each ones
wrists crossed and tied fast. They Were
then placed along the gnnwales, facing
outward and leaning over, and strong
cord fastened the hands of each one to this
heavy iron cable inst below them on the
outside.
Then the captain awaited the result Of
the race. He had ON every stitch of cam
vas his poles could carry. lf he could
run till dark he hoped to dodge the
steamer and be ont OF sight before am
other day. But the sun did not go down
fast enough, and the steamer came on too
fast. There was at last no hope of es-
cape. The crew stood ready with axes;
the captain raised his hand, and in an in
slant every cleat was knocked loose.
There was sudden jerk, over went the
negroes; there was for an instant a fringe
Of 600 black heels in the air, and cable
and negroes were gone to the bottom,

water at great depths is such that fishes
cannot go there TO devour and chemical
decomposition cannot take place. So
these negroes are down there yet, still
tied in circle to that iron cable. with
their heads down and heels up, in the
eternal stiffness of those depths.
AS soon as the man of war came up
lieutenant boarded the SLAYER and found
plenty signs of negroes. but not single
slave. And the captain was not arrested.
He soon had another cargo of negroes,
which he this time successfully landed
and sold in Cuba. On his return to Bos-
ton, however, he and his mate fell out,
and the mate told on him. The captain
ran away to Cuba and was not prose
cuted. After awhile his friends sue
ceeded in getting pardon for him from
the president, and he returned to Boston,
where he now resides-wealthy happy
and respected. He told this story to his
old friend, who told it to me. AS for the

They Got the Funds.

The other day little Herman, aged @,
and his brother, year younger, made a
call on their uncle, who is quite hard of
hearing. They evidently wanted some
thing, but he could not make out what it
was. After great deal of loud talking
and manipulating on their part, he told
Herman to speak slowly and in his ordi-
nary tone, and this is what he heard:
"We-want-som thing to- buy =
some-thing-with." The little fellow
argued that as his uncle couldn't under
stand that they wanted money, he would
have to translate his request SO as TO make
it ineligible. They made the raise.

whose BODY was found Sunday Oh the
Brentwood road, mile and i quarter

that the murderer is her son. There

Seth X. Clark, OF Bay Shore, an adj

she got into the buggy which lie had
hired at Snedeker's livery stable, and
that while driving toward Bay Shore he
killed her, shooting her with IL revolver
after hitting blow with the butt end
Of a whip, aud then drove back TO the
livery stable. These facts were brought
out at the inquest held Monday by Cor
oner Edwards in the town hall. The

Mrs. Charlotte Tubbs, of Caroline
county, Maryland, has driven her hus-
band nearly crazy by giving birth to Il
quartet of blue-cyel, red-iaced, bald
headed babies, each weighing from
three to five pounds. Mr.. Benjamin
Tubbs would no doubt have been de-
lighted at this family presentation bu
for the fact that just sixteen months
ago his wife made him Christmas pres
ent of her second pair of twins. One
year previous to that she gave birth to a
son, aud ten months previous was the
mother of twins. All the twins and the
quartet are girls and the only boy was
the single birth.
Nine children in five years.
This is the maternal record of Mrs.
Tubbs, of Caroline county.
Nothing was thought of the rapid in.
crease in Tubbs' family until the last
quadruple addition and now poor Tubbs
is almost beside himself. He could
scarcely support the five and does not
know what TO do with the nine. A sub
scription has been taken up to get him
and his family better accommodations
1t is remarkable that the four babies
lived and from the SOUND of their lung
power and other healthy indications
they will live to keep the two pair OF
twins company. Physicians from all the
country around have been to see the
phenomena. The mother is doing well.
The babies were born week ago and
the fourth was born just five hours after
the first.
